The Circular Plastics Australia recycling facility near Albury-Wodonga will receive up to $16.5 million through a Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) investment.
This is the first investment under the Australian Government’s Australian Recycling Investment Fund.
Circular Plastics Australia’s polyethylene terephthalate (PET) facility will recycle the equivalent of one billion plastic bottles each year. This will be converted into more than 20,000 tonnes of new PET bottles and food packaging.
Construction of the facility is well under way, with the plant to be part-powered by solar panels.
